HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Nour Jalaleddine from the CollegeBin Rashid University of have published the article: ACE2 polymorphisms impact COVID-19 severity in obese patients, in the Journal: Scientific Reports Scientific Reports
• what: SARS-CoV-2 entry into the host cell depends on ACE2, thus the authors propose that genetic variations in ACE2 may account for the differences in symptoms and severities seen in COVID-19 patients. This study provides insight into the correlation of frequently reported ACE2 variants and increased severity, in association to obesity, in COVID-19 patients, which might further explain the complications seen in . . .
